I have always loved travel, and Australia has long been at the top of my list of future destinations. By coming here, I have now checked off 5 of the 7 continents. But more importantly, it was always my dream to come to Australia and have a shrimp on the barbie next to the Sydney Opera House. As you can see, earlier this week I made it to the world famous landmark, fulfilling half of that aspiration. But I was heartbroken to find an absence of shrimp AND barbies in the immediate vicinity.
No worries though. Today I had my first authentic Australian shrimp on the barbie. Flavored with garlic, these tender tasty morsels were perfectly cooked up by my friends down under, Darren, Lindsey, and Kim. When they heard how important having a real shrimp on the barbie was to me, they rushed out to the market right away to get some. Thank you so much for fulfilling the pledge Paul Hogan made all those years ago.
